I’ve been processing this episode for almost a week, and I’m still kind of struggling to figure out what I think. We’ll go with what I know first and then try and unpack what I’m not so certain of.
The Morning After I’m excited to explore the implications of Supernatural’s 15th mid-season premiere, “The Trap”! It answered many questions, but the pursuit of those answers raised many intriguing issues – philosophical, mythological and logical in nature. The episode was also an emotional ringer. Brilliantly acted by all involved (need I mention Jared, Jensen, Misha…
The Road So Far: God is back, Jack is dead, “Welcome to the end,” Amara tells Chuck that he needs her, Rowena does her spell and falls into the gulf in the earth, Michael/Adam tells them they need a leviathan blossom in Purgatory and opens a rift Now: A plastic pink elephant with an uplifted…
Monster Mythology Evolution: Reapers Reapers have been present in Supernatural almost from the word go. In the now classic episode “Faith”, we were introduced to a stoic and classic image of a reaper, harnessed by a woman playing with life and death. Her efforts backfired but only after it saved Dean, thankfully. Since then, we’ve…

THEN: The flashback shows Adam (who was really a ghoul taking on his body and memories) calling the Winchesters and introducing himself, Cas calling Michael/Adam “Assbutt” and setting him on fire, Sam pulling Michael/Adam into the chasm into hell. We see potential futures of demonic Dean attacking Sam, the God-wound, Eileen being brought back to…

I love love loved this episode. I grinned through it, even though it was quite heavy, emotionally. I have many thoughts and feelings, so here we go. Before I get into the plot or character stuff, I need to express how happy it made me see Christian Kane. I’ve been a fan for years; since…
If “Last Call” were a latte, it would have a whole lot of froth on the top and a little, very dark espresso on the bottom. This episode was a curious mix of fun and brutal reality, finally leaving us in a position to move forward, with seemingly everyone on board in knowing the key…
